Food for Thought

According to Eric Weiner in The Geography of Bliss, the following hand-painted sign was seen on the side of road in Bhutan:


"When the last tree is cut,
When the last river is emptied,
When the last fish is caught, only then will man realize that he can not eat money.

I have just returned from a trip to Egypt, where, among other things, Gail and I climbed Mt. Sinai and watched the sunrise. Quite a thrill!

What a joy, though, to find that your "hiatus" had ended. I have missed your perspectives, insights, and wisdom, and the spiritual guidance you provide. Perhaps absence does make the heart grow even fonder.

Somehwere recently i heard someone ask, "What was the guy thinking as he cut down the last tree on Eastyer Island?" Didn't they become cannabals after that?
